Welcome to the web site of the Student Research Committee at Le Moyne College. An important part of college education is learning how to do scholarship and research. This page tells you how to obtain financial support for undergraduate research projects. Feel free to contact the chair or a member of the committee if you have any questions about the process.
Committee
The Student Research Committee solicits and evaluates proposals for financial support of research by undergraduate students (in conjunction with a faculty member.) The committee makes recommendations for funding to the Provost/Academic Vice President who then communicates the approval of awards to the Chair. The funding is managed through the office of the Chief Academic Officer. This committee is staffed each year by a faculty Chair, one faculty representative each from natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, management division, and an at-large faculty member. It also includes one student member nominated by the Student Senate President. In order to retain continuity this seven member committee replaces no more than four members (including the student) in a given year.
The intent of the granting program is educational, to serve as model for scholarly educational and granting processes in the future, as well as to support student scholarly endeavors at Le Moyne. The granting process is becoming increasingly competetive as student scholarship at Le Moyne grows. Application is not a gaurantee of funding. Quality of both the proposal and the proposed scholarly project are strong determinants of success.
